I'm so glad they were here in Brazil again! I agree with charlierose, though. Two legs in S„o Paulo is too much. I higly doubt it. Maybe there's a lot of Brazil in the preview because it's the first leg and they haven't edited the rest yet.

The airport is a bit of a puzzle. I used GE to compare the cap with various airports around Sao Paulo and found a match in Campo de Marte (code SBMT). The editing would have us think Varig landed there but from this description that seems unlikely. I'm thinking maybe Marte was the site for the nerd-hangar caps, but I haven't found a match yet.

u got me thinking maybe the dancers r for a detour like the1 in russia in tar5. whats the thing in the middle of them dancing. ive been looking at russian folk dancing halls and not really finding anything.

We may be missing a location or two in the beginning somewhere (11/7-11/24) Ė the dates donít add up. Flights will chew up some days, but not enough to cover 17 days between Denver and Perth/Rottnest. Maybe a couple episodes in India like they've done before. A while back, there was a spoiler about going from Denver to Ottawa? (Puddin from OC Register 12/5) This would add a lot of mileage, which would make sense. No connections thru Ottawa to Sao Paolo, right? So they couldnít have flown from Denver to Sao Paulo thru Ottawa. I toyed with idea of westward trip around globe, but timing doesnít make sense. Post in Spoilers yesterday mentioned the desperate couple in the Adelaide airport trying to get to Singapore. When they didnít, they used their previously booked flight to Sydney. Makes me think they were just trying to connect to Lopburi or elsewhere in Thailand (via Singapore OR Sydney) instead of going to Singapore as a destination, so Iíve taken Singapore out of the route map. Must have just been a faster flight going through Singapore. This would certainly be a grueling race (like TAR1) like Phil described in the interview Ė it is ALL over the map.

That's true... the date of the sighting in Ottawa doesn't jibe with the start date of the race, and that story might have been the source of info for the OC article. Besides, Ottawa (no offense) seems like kind of a sucky starting destination -- I can picture the teams opening the envelope and saying: "Ottawa? Crap! I didn're realize we were on the family edition..."

i just looked through the skyguide for november. in order for them to go from denver to ottawa they would have to do some really creative flying. if the race began on nov 7 and the candian sighting was nov5 it wasnt them
